Is it True That the Borrower is Servant to the Lender? By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins/ November 8, 2024 Praise The Lord Saints!! Praise The Lord!! How are all of you doing today? Fine, I hope. I have a very important question to ask all of you. Is it true that the borrower is servant to the lender? This is a very serious question that I would like to ask all of you personally because I have a student loan, and I am having a very difficult time paying it off. The interest of my student loan is 8%. I know that I did not have any business taking out another loan; just to attend college at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I enrolled in college during the fall of 2003. I borrowed the money in order to enroll at UNCC. I was not eligible for any more grants that were available at the time. Frankly, I was trying to acquire a second Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Social Work. I understand that anytime that a person borrows money in any state, fashion or form, it is like being a s...

Open navigation menu Advice Home Family Six Family Types And Their Unique Dynamics Medically reviewed by  Andrea Brant, LMHC UpdatedNovember 12th, 2024byBetterHelp Editorial Team Different family types are not only common but also much more accepted than they were in the past. To define family types, we categorize families based on their structure and dynamics, such as single-parent households, nuclear families, and extended families. It's not uncommon to be raised by a single mother or be part of a mixed family. Each family type (there are six main ones that people agree on) has a unique family dynamic.  Learning about your family type and thinking about how it affects your family dynamic can help bring you clarity about your family challenges or give you insight into the process of going through a big shift in your family structure. Looking at family type and dynamics can also give you a better idea of the strengths and weaknesses that your family is likely wo...

Put On The New Self By Anthony Joseph Hopkins It sounds a bit like throwing on an overcoat or shawl, the concept of “putting on the new self” that is emphasized repeatedly in Scripture. “Is it really that simple?” we might scoff, as if transformation happens as easily as changing our clothing. But that is exactly what the apostle Paul advises Christian believers to do in Ephesians 4. As he wrote, “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-24). What does it mean to “put on the new self” from Ephesians 4:22-24? It means exactly that — to exchange the old self for the new, the old ways and life of sin for the new creation we all are in our lord and savior, Christ Jesus. Let’s take a look at the context, how we can put on a “new self,” and why it is so ...

What does it mean to examine our ways and heart? By Anthony Joseph Hopkins This is an essay that will ask a very important question. What does it mean to examine our ways and heart? This is a plan for repentance and renewal. Turn Back!! Repentance in the Old Testament prophets is often expressed by the verb To Turn!! Lift our hearts and hands: Lifting hands was a common posture in prayer.   According to Lamentations 5:21: The one-word turn can summarize God’s message to His rebellious people. In one of Jeremiah’s earlier messages, he had exhorted the people to turn to God no less than seven times. Return means to “Return” to God in faith. When it comes to repentance, I have to completely stop what I had done wrong, and give it to the Lord God. The definition of the word repent means to turn back. As it pertains to the topic of discussion, this gives us an opportunity to examine carefully who we are in the eyes of God. It also enables us to write down on paper all of our...

Life Online   January 27, 2025  29 min read Teen Slang: Decoding Gen Z By  Jackie Baucom Share Article   Updated – Originally published January 17, 2024 As a parent, you’ve probably overheard some slang from your kid. They may say things like, “I’m amped about my drip today,” or, “He’s got rizz. Giving off major BDE.” Maybe they’ve said something like, “No cap, this sandwich is bussin’,” or, “Spill the tea, sis!”  The  lingo our kids use  every day may be incomprehensible to us, but these words actually have meaning — some we may know, and some we can understand from the context of the conversation.  A number of these slang terms were created by past generations, while other are new terms that parents can be pretty clueless about. Some of these words are made up, shortened, or said as acronyms. Some slang terms are everyday words but hold different meanings. Many new terms stem organically from the online platforms kids commonly use to communicate...
